tmg Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Here's a small project I just had done as a gift for my wife; I had the dial on an old Tudor Oysterdate redone in a pink background -pretty cute eh! She mentioned how she liked a pink custom dialed Rolex Datejust she saw in a catalog. She'd kick my butt if I bought here a gen Rolex so I thought about a budget option and this is what I came up with. What do y'all think about replacing the hands? These are the originals, I was thinking a minty white fresh set might make more sense against the new dial.
freddy333 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Me likie as-is. But, with women, who knows.
marc jacobs Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Cute~~~ Baby Pink dial, yrs wife will love it so much. The hand set not match with this dial.
tmg Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Posted July 31, 2009 Me likie as-is. But, with women, who knows. I like it the way it is too, but..... you said it!
ubiquitous Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Well done, TMG! Very nice Personally, I think the hands work well... The more important opinion, however is that of Mrs. TMG. What does she think of the hands?
tmg Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks for the kind words Ubi and all! Well I gave it to her yesterday and asked her about the hands along with a crystal swap (it has a few battle scars I couldn't quite buff out), but it doesn't look like it'll be coming off her wrist anytime soon. So I guess that's her answer.
vlydog Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 TMG, this watch looks great. Pure understated elegance with a sporty side too. ...a wet suit meets a little black dress.
trailboss Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Interesting! Would have been nice to get a pink pearl finish on the dial but it looks great as is IMO. I'd tend to leave the hands but as stated above the important thing is what does the missus think? Col.
dluddy Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Glad she liked it tmg. Came out really nice Did CWP re-do the dial for you?
TeeJay Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Glad to hear that it was liked, it's certainly a lovely watch
tmg Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks TJ and everyone for the nice feedback. TMG, this watch looks great. Pure understated elegance with a sporty side too. ...a wet suit meets a little black dress. I love the analogy B! Glad she liked it tmg. Came out really nice Did CWP re-do the dial for you? D, it was Superior Dials, they only do gen redials and sell aftermarket jeweled styles.
